Sit down, come round, spend time with me And I’ll be what you want, and I’ll be what you need And I will climb this mountain, your heart and soul to free If you just walk, walk this path with me If you just walk, walk this path with me Well I know that it’s hard to find the time today And to walk in the light, and not go astray But we must climb this mountain every single day For that is how we’ll find our way For that is how we’ll find our way Well I see a tender love shining in your eyes Ah love, my love, every day’s a surprise And we will climb this mountain, learning how to be And our hearts, and souls, love will set them free And our hearts, and souls, love will set them free

High above Dundas Valley she stands Our lady of the mountain, watching over this land See her red light shining oh, from the valley below Hear the wings of an angel, that nobody knows A friend to the soldiers, in the medical wars The children, the Innu the, the people next door See her red light shining oh, from the valley below Hear the wings of an angel, that nobody knows It’s a crying shame ya ya ya ya It’s a crying shame ya ya ya ya It’s a crying shame, this white plague But she’s a Cross of Lorraine, she’s a Cross of Lorraine She’s a Cross of Lorraine, she’s a Cross of Lorraine And you know that she never, forgets a tear That face in the lamplight, through the years See her red light shining oh, from the valley below Hear the wings of an angel, that nobody knows It’s a crying shame ya ya ya ya It’s a crying shame ya ya ya ya It’s a crying shame, this white plague But she’s a Cross of Lorraine, she’s a Cross of Lorraine She’s a Cross of Lorraine, she’s a Cross of Lorraine And we need never, be ashamed She a Cross of Lorraine She’s a Cross of Lorraine

Tell me where does the time in our lives go? Is it lost between the rain and the snow? This world keeps turning with us in tow But tell me where does the time in our lives go? These fragile eyes of innocence hide A trust that was broken, and it opened wide You can never heal after you feel That cold steel and it’s deep inside But tell me where does the time in our lives go? Is it lost between the rain and the snow? This world keeps turning with us in tow But tell me where does the time in our lives go? It’s just a sad song, don’t let it get in the way A sad song, don’t let in spoil your day I hunger to comfort, and for ways to break down This wall that was built without a sound Just tell me where does the time in our lives go? Is it lost between the rain and the snow? This world keeps turning with us in tow But tell me where does the time in our lives go? Dancing around and around and around I saw your smile in the lost and found Though I live my life on the wrong side of town I never meant for it to drag you down Just tell me where does the time in our lives go? Is it lost between the rain and the snow? This world keeps turning with us in tow But tell me where does the time in our lives go?

You know I love you dad, you know I love you ma So here’s a song, for the setting sun You know you taught me well, you know you taught me fine But now I know, we cannot in time abide And you’ll never know, you’ll just never know You’ll just never know, how I miss you so I’ve got to find the time, I’ve got to find the time I’m going to find the time, to kiss my love goodbye I’ve got to hug my child, I’ve got to hug my child I’m going to hug my child, before this day is done ‘Cause it’s a precious life, it’s a precious life You know it’s a precious life, and I won’t let it go ‘Cause you never know, you just never know You never know, when it’s time to go You've got to find the time, you’ve got to find the time Go on and find the time, to kiss your love goodbye You’ve got to hug your child, go on and hug your child You’ve got to hug your child, before this day is done ‘Cause it’s a precious life, it’s a precious life You know it’s a precious life, don’t you let it slip away ‘Cause you never know, you just never know You never know, when it’s time to go When all is said, and all is done You know this is just a song, for the setting sun
5.
I lay by your side, though your eyes are wide You don’t even know my name You don’t even know my name Once our laughter rang, in these songs we sang Now you don’t even know my name You don’t even know my name We bore wings of light, never once feared night Now I’m all alone again I just lost my best friend My heart split in two, the day I lost you Now I don’t even know my name I don’t even know my name

Inside 03:28
Can I walk you home, in the pale moonlight? Ooh baby babe, would it be alright? If it rains we can always go inside If it rains we can always go inside Let’s go picking flowers, in the countryside Or dip our feet, in the salty tide If it rains we can always go inside If it rains we can always go inside But that sun just keeps beating down Burning holes in our shadows, on the ground So we had to run to get inside So we had to run to get inside Now we sit and wonder, what we’re going to do ‘Cause they say there’s a hole, in the ozone too Guess we’ll just have to learn to stay inside Guess we’ll just have to learn to stay inside
7.
Pour Me Home 05:18
Know my throat is dry, but I don’t want no water Man I just can’t cry, even though I want to Been no love so long, I don’t even want to What did I do wrong, to cause so much sorrow? Ooh you better pour me home, just pour me home I won’t do no wrong I’m on tobacco road, but there’s no tomorrow And every row I hoe, Lord I got to borrow There’s a broken bar, just around the corner When the Guinness flows, Lord I want to holler Ooh you better pour me home, just pour me home Before she’s gone
8.
Wild Horse 05:10
The subtle taste of moonlight, I’m walking into stars You being right beside me, forever near and far You’re like a wild horse honey, pulling at my wheel You’re like a wild horse honey, out bucking in my field A simple taste of morning, greets my every day With your head upon my pillow, I’ll blow your blues away You’re like a wild horse honey, pulling at my wheel Like a wild horse honey, out bucking in my field A golden glow of sunlight, in a salty sea of air The rising tide of silence, as you untie your hair You’re like a wild horse honey, pulling at my wheel You’re like a wild horse honey, out bucking in my field
9.
Well yes I love you, like the morning sun Like the morning sun, upon your face Well yes I love you, even your goodbye’s Leaving not a tear in my eyes And I won’t worry, ‘cause there’s no better time No there’s no better time, to give my love And don’t you worry, ‘cause there’s no bitterness There’s no bitterness, in my heart I’m going to miss you, miss you like a friend I’ll miss you like a friend, until the end I’m going to miss you, each and every day Each and every day, that we’re apart But don’t you worry, ‘cause I’ll home again I’ll be home again to see you’re face And I won’t worry, ‘cause I know true love Is beyond all time and space But don’t you worry, ‘cause I’ll home again I’ll be home again to see you’re face And I won’t worry, ‘cause I know true love Is beyond all time and space Well yes I love you, like the morning sun Like that morning sun, upon your face Well yes I love you, even your goodbye’s Leaving not a tear in my eyes

Oh Sasha, make your body move Make your lips and fingertips, an undulating groove Oh Sasha, get your bucket too Fetch some water for the kids, and then some candy too For in this town we’re going to die, we’re going to die Oh Peter, run the corridor fast You don’t have to be the first, just don’t be the last Oh Peter, see the tombstone eyes In the UNies, in the cameras, don’t be so surprised That in this town we’re going to die, we’re going to die Oh Mary, hope it isn’t true That this war is coming to a neighbourhood near you Oh Buddha, save the planet soon Stop the hatred, stop the bombing, take us to the moon For in this town we’re going to die, we’re going to die Oh Yahweh, can you hear us too? Slimy bits of protoplasm, calling out for you Oh Mohammed, take us where we stand There’s no way in God’s creation, we’ll give us this land In this town we’re going to die, we’re going to die Oh Sasha, make your body move Make your lips and fingertips, an undulating groove Oh Sasha, get your bucket too Fetch some water for the kids, and then some candy too For in this town we’re going to die, we’re going to die
11.
Miles and miles down that broken road I know your smile hides a heavy load No time for crying or growing old No time for being here so all alone Let me take you by the hand ‘Cause nothing turns out like it’s planned And we don’t know where we will land On this constant shifting sand Give me shelter in the ache of night My time and age are taking flight I’ll be your compass, you be my light I’ll be your hearing, you be my sight Let me take you by the hand ‘Cause nothing turns out like it’s planned And we don’t know where we will land On this constant shifting sand This story is both yours and mine Breaking silence, call out the crime With body, soul, heart, and mind Let’s make peace, with the hands of time Let’s make peace ,with the hands of time Let’s make peace, with the hands of time Let’s make peace, with the hands of time Let’s make peace, with the hands of time Hands of time, hands of time, O Lord, hands of time

Some Roads 03:33
I don’t have any words That could make you see That it was not your fault It just wasn’t meant to be Some roads, they only lead To the places that you’ve been But the heart, it can be healed If you let yourself just feel Please don’t ask anymore I don’t want you to say That you’d be my only love Every night and day Some roads, they only lead To the places that you’ve been But the heart, it can be healed If you let yourself just feel And I cannot fall in love I’ve got no more tears to cry You know it’s over now And it’s time to say goodbye Some roads, they only lead To the places that you’ve been But the heart, it can be healed If you let yourself just feel

Mighty Shore 05:12
God bless America, land of the free, home of the brave And those L.A. angels too God bless America, land of the dream Over it seems, I’m washed up on your mighty shore Well I’m washed up on your might shore Headed down the Cali coast Redwood forest and live oak Mendocino’s on my way Then down by the bay Picking and grinning every day Goodbye to my Golden Gate God bless America, land of the free, home of the brave And those L.A. angels too God bless America, land of the dream Over it seems, I’m washed up on your mighty shore Well I’m washed up on your might shore Well I played in Monterey, in Santa Cruz I lost my way You know that I lost my way But Big Sur, you stole my heart Had to love you from the start You know that I loved you from the start God bless America, land of the free, home of the brave And those L.A. angels too God bless America, land of the dream Over it seems, I’m washed up on your mighty shore Well I’m washed up on your might shore Then down Paso way, had a chance to sing and play Among those Cambria pines Settled on the old SLO coast Avila, I miss you most You know that I miss you the most God bless America, land of the free, home of the brave And those L.A. angels too God bless America, land of the dream Over it seems, I’m washed up on your mighty shore Well I’m washed up on your might shore Ventura to Ojai, Venice Beach you ought to try You know that you really ought to try San Diego radio, all the way to Mexico Bienvenido a Mexico God bless America, land of the free, home of the brave And those L.A. angels too God bless America, land of the dream Over it seems, I’m washed up on your mighty shore Well I’m washed up on your might shore I said I’m washed up on your mighty shore You know I’m washed up on your mighty shore Washed up on your mighty shore Well I’m washed up on your mighty shore
14.
Sitting here in the pouring rain I wonder if I’ll ever be the same You know it isn’t true, what they said But I’ve been living with this price on my head I would never wish you any harm And it hurts to see you cry I guess my anger got the best of me It’s just that I don’t understand, why? I walk around in this empty town Watching the smiles as they turn into frowns Is there something we can believe? Or does this devil have something up its sleeve? The winds are calling me now We’ve been burning our bridges down Knocking these walls to the ground Let’s turn this madness around Turn this madness around
15.
He came from a land of cotton Under a blue blue sky But all he ever got your people Was their lies He worked and he laboured And tried to please them all But even a strong man Without love, is bound to fall He never had a chance to live What we’d call a life No father and no mother Never had a loving wife He needed more love Than the world could give him He needed more love Than the world could spare He needed more love Than the world could give him Do you care? Do you care? Sometimes he’d make it up In his electric chair And try to please us all And show us how to care When I heard that he left us When I heard that he died And we could make room for another I wrote down this song and I cried You needed more love Than the world could give you You needed a world that could care You needed a world that could give you… Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there?
16.
When the fall is near, and the day is clear That’s the time I’ll come to you In the morning dew, sparkling flowers bloom In an empty sky of blue And I love you, I love you I love you, yes I do I love you, I love you I love you, it’s true As the days rip by, in a world of sighs There is nothing known for sure Let us cast a glance, at this one last chance It is all we’ll ever have And I love you, I love you I love you, yes I do I love you, I love you Yes I love you, it’s true With the winter soon, cracking Saskatoon There is no place left to hide But we’ll sail away, on that first Spring day Under a prairie full moon And I love you, I love you I love you, yes I do I love you, I love you I love you, it is true I love you, I love you, I love you
17.
Doomed 05:31
Come and sit beside me It’s going to be a while Been such a long time Since I’ve seen that smile With no TV, net, or phone And no Game of Thrones It’s so hard to be alone Out here on our own We are doomed, we are doomed The fire is inviting I think you will agree Now is the right time For just you and me We can talk about the kids And listen to the sea Imagine what it’s like To be young and free We are doomed, we are doomed Come and sit beside me And I will rub your feet Being off of Facebook Is really kind of neat We can talk about the weather Or a terrorist attack And wonder if we’ll ever Get our power back We are doomed, we are doomed Come and sit here by the fire There’s no place to go Tell me your desire I really want to know We can talk about rogue nations The latest allegations Maybe global warming Or that nuclear warning We are doomed, we are doomed We’re doomed, we’re doomed But that’s OK We can always play This song, this song This song, this song
18.
Lover True 03:05
Don’t forget about me Don’t forget about me I loved you true, I said I do So don’t forget about me I once was your lover true I once said that I do I once thought that You loved me too How I loved to see you smile How I loved to see you smile O babe, its been a while But how I loved to see you smile I once was your lover true I once said that I do I once thought that You loved me too So don’t forget about me No, don’t forget about me I loved you true I said I do So don’t forget Just don’t, just don’t Just don’t, just don’t Just don’t

Pursuant to the success of Anthology Volume 1, which was lauded as “one of the best for 2022” by Americana Highways, Ken Dunn’s Anthology Volume 2 will be released to folk radio by Art Menius on May 2, 2023.
Anthology Volume 2 features 18 carefully curated tracks, many of which are from studio and live recordings that were either unreleased or subject to limited distribution.
